Stefano Ricci e Pasquale Mirra will be performing in a show of music and drawing that will be based on improvisation and dialogue between these two languages, which will be linked in one flow. This will be produced by the reciprocal influence of gestures and presence.

It will be possible meeting the artists who will be discussing about their collaboration and the experiment of the workshop in a successive meeting at Sala Borsa, on Saturday, November 25^th, h 2,30pm.

In order to blend both the creation of artistic productions and the formative aims pointed towards a general public and young people, it has been possible to create a particular project which is made of a five days workshop and a final performance open to audiance, in collaboration with Bologna Jazz Festival. Two groups will be working both together and separately on music improvisation and graphics, inside the spaces of the building of Centro Didattico delle Art of Liceo Arcangeli. A group will be composed by twelve students of Conservatorio Giovanni Battista Martini and Liceo Musicale Lucio Dalla, directed by the vibraphonist Pasquale Mirra, and the other one will be made of twelve students of Accademia di Belle Arti of Bologna and Liceo Artistico Arcangeli, led by Stefano Ricci. They will work to devise an everyday dialogue between these two art languages, so to focus on their potentialities and their dynamics. During the final performance, which will be possible thanks to the support of CUBO Centro Unipol Bologna, all the drawings will be projected on a screen, so to make anyone able to follow live their creation. The realisation of the drawings will be inspired by the action of the musicians, who will be playing likewise in connection with the drawings and their sentences.

Inauguration on Saturday, November 15^th h 7,30pm

The exhibition presents one-hundred-fifty drawings taken from the book Mia madre si chiama Loredana and from Più Giù, which is the visual synthesis of the rehearsals occurred for the theatre show that the illustrator and the two musicians are bringing on the scenes since last year. It will be possible to attend to the proposal of particular animations that will be connected to any single track of the album, in a further comparison among sound, image and movement.

At the inauguration of the exhibition Più Giù, Stefano Ricci will be drawing accompanied live by Giacomo Piermatti at the double bass and Vincenzo Core at the live electronics. In this occasion they will promote for the first time their last album Il sogno di mio fratello.
